Tags

Replace vs append

By default all tags append if another data pack created the tag. For example, if you try to override minecraft:wool you'll actually add to the list instead of replace it. If you add "replace": true to your tag definition, we will ignore the previous data pack and only your definition applies.
Referencing other tags

You can add #foo:bar in a tag value list to reference another tag called foo:bar. This can go as deep as you like, but if you end up trying to reference yourself then we will not load it.
You can only reference tags of the same type, so a block tag can't include a function tag.
Local coordinates

When specifying coordinates in a command, you can now use ^ to specify local coordinates instead of world coordinates. The syntax is: ^left ^up ^forwards, where left/up/forwards is the amount of blocks in the specified direction.
For example, this is the block right in front of a players face: ^ ^1.62 ^1 (1.62 blocks up, where is where the camera is, and 1 block forwards)

I've updated the opening post of this thread with information on how to install Snapshots on MultiMC. This method is much more convenient than the old Minecraft launcher version. Currently to get the new snapshots you'll need to set MultiMC to update from the development channel. And then restart MultiMC. This will change in the not too distant future so I haven't included that information in the opening post.
